Safely Buy Ceftin ( Cefuroxime ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Ceftin (cefuroxime), an antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin family, works by combating bacterial infections in the body.

Ceftin (cefuroxime) is prescribed to patients with bacterial infections affecting various parts of the body such as the ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bones, joints, bladder, or kidneys.

The active ingredient in Ceftin (cefuroxime), is also used to treat serious bacterial infections like meningitis, sepsis, early-stage Lyme disease, and gonorrhea.

In some cases, Ceftin (cefuroxime) is administered via injection shortly before a surgical procedure to prevent any infection from developing.

Uses and Dosage

Take Ceftin (cefuroxime) by mouth and take it twice daily, every 12 hours, or as advised by your physician. For better absorption and to reduce stomach discomfort, consume Ceftin (cefuroxime) with food. Your dosage will depend on your medical condition and your body’s response to the treatment.

When taking the tablets, swallow them whole and avoid crushing or chewing them since they have a bitter taste. If the tablets are difficult to swallow, you may use the liquid suspension form of the medication.

For optimal effectiveness, take Ceftin (cefuroxime) at even intervals throughout the day. To help you remember, take Ceftin (cefuroxime) at the same time every day.

Continue taking Ceftin (cefuroxime) until you have completed the full prescribed course, even if your symptoms subside after a few days. Discontinuing the medication too soon can allow the bacteria to persist, which may result in a relapse of the infection.

Side Effects

You may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach pain when taking Ceftin (cefuroxime). Dizziness and drowsiness may also occur, particularly with higher doses. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, promptly inform your doctor or pharmacist.

Keep in mind that your doctor has prescribed Ceftin (cefuroxime) because they have determined that the benefits outweigh the risk of side effects. Many individuals who take this medication do not experience any serious side effects.

Inform your doctor right away if you experience any serious side effects such as:

• Unusual weakness or fatigue
• Signs of liver problems (such as persistent nausea/vomiting, abdominal/stomach pain, yellowing of eyes/skin, dark urine)
• Signs of kidney problems (such as changes in urine output)
• Signs of a new infection (like persistent sore throat, fever)
• Easy bruising/bleeding, jerky movements, or mental/mood changes (such as confusion)

Ceftin (cefuroxime) may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition called C. difficile due to a bacterium. This condition can occur during treatment or even weeks to months after treatment has ended. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience:

• Diarrhea that does not stop
• Abdominal or stomach pain/cramping
• Blood/mucus in your stool.

Do not use anti-diarrhea or opioid products if you have these symptoms as they may worsen the condition.

Using Ceftin (cefuroxime) for an extended period or repeatedly may lead to oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection (oral or vaginal fungal infection). If you notice white patches in your mouth or a change in vaginal discharge or any other new symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

Although rare, a serious allergic reaction to Ceftin (cefuroxime) may occur. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as:
